Summary of Basic Genetic Modification

Gene Introduced	Gene Source	Product	Function
bar	Streptomyces hygroscopicus	phosphinothricin N-acetyltransferase (PAT) enzyme	eliminates herbicidal activity of glufosinate (phosphinothricin) herbicides by acetylation
barnase	Bacillus amyloliquefaciens	barnase ribonuclease (RNAse) enzyme	causes male sterility by interfering with RNA production in the tapetum cells of the anther
